Cat Cyberbullied Over Awkward Selfie
Cat Cyberbullied Over Awkward Selfie
When you ask friends what defines Cheeto, a 2-and-a-half-year-old cat from New Orleans, LA, you’ll get a lot of similar answers.
“He’s very into himself,” says Arnold Scudder. “It seems like whenever we talk, the conversation always veers back around to him.”
So it’s no surprise that Cheeto’s Facebook profile is littered with his own self-taken portraits. But one in particular caught the eye of classmates, and it soon made the rounds.
“He just had this silly look on his face, like he’s trying to impress us,” says Lillian Casarez, who saw a friend share the photo online. “A lot of other kids didn’t think it was cute, so they started leaving mean comments and making fun of him.”
“He was cyberbullied,” says Joseph Craig, the superintendent where Cheeto attends middle school. “We looked into it, and asked students who had shared the photo to remove it. Cheeto went home early. He was a little upset, but I think he learned a valuable lesson about the Internet.”

Kitten’s New Kicks Don’t Fit
Kitten’s New Kicks Don’t Fit
A kitten named Oscar was disappointed when he opened a box from Zappos Monday morning to find the sneakers he ordered were far too big.
“He almost fit inside one of the shoes,” says Stacy Fournier, a friend of the kitty who had come over to see the new kicks. “I guess he had ordered a men’s size 8, when he’s actually a kitty size 8.”
It’s of little consequence, since Zappos offers free shipping on all returns. Still, Oscar was hoping to start his new jogging regimen this week. It will have to wait.

Cat Surfs 300 Channels, Finds Nothing Good on TV
Cat Surfs 300 Channels, Finds Nothing Good on TV
Despite subscribing to a premium package that includes HBO, Showtime and IFC, a cat named Sid cycled through all 300 channels on the proverbial dial, looking for something to kill an hour or two.
“Nothing,” says Jim Shoreline, Sid’s roommate. “There was absolutely nothing on. Infomercials, sitcom re-runs, a crappy ‘90s movie with a ton of commercials – TV is just so boring these days.”
Shoreline says Sid simply fell asleep clutching the remote, waking up to a new episode of The View the next morning.
“He watched that,” says Shoreline. “He loves Joy Behar. Loves her.”
